Capture object boundary jitter reduction

A computer readable medium, embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium, the non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which, when stored in memory and executed by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to perform a set of acts for reducing boundary jitter reduction during a document image capture session, the acts comprising:

• receiving a sequence of one or more video frames from an image capture device, wherein at least some of the video frames comprise a target object to be captured;
• identifying one or more polygons in the video frames;
• applying one or more intra-frame filters to the polygons to select one or more candidate object boundaries, wherein the one or more candidate object boundaries correspond to one of the polygons from a respective one or more of the video frames;
• applying one or more inter-frame filters to the one or more candidate object boundaries to select a particular one of the one or more candidate object boundaries that bounds the target object;
• and
• sending a representation of the particular one of the one or more candidate object boundaries to a graphics processor to be visually displayed on a display screen of the image capture device.

A system for reducing boundary jitter reduction during a document image capture session, the system comprising:

• a storage medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions;
• and
• one or more processors that execute the instructions to cause the one or more processors to perform a set of acts, the acts comprising,
• receiving a sequence of one or more video frames from an image capture device, wherein at least some of the video frames comprise a target object to be captured;
• identifying one or more polygons in the video frames;
• applying one or more intra-frame filters to the polygons to select one or more candidate object boundaries, wherein the one or more candidate object boundaries correspond to one of the polygons from a respective one or more of the video frames;
• applying one or more inter-frame filters to the one or more candidate object boundaries to select a particular one of the one or more candidate object boundaries that bounds the target object;
• and
• sending a representation of the particular one of the one or more candidate object boundaries to a graphics processor to be visually displayed on a display screen of the image capture device.
